Emily Dickinson writes numerous poems of what is not there. Her use of negation (not, nor, -less, without), together with words with negative connotations (Despair, Repeal, shaven, Burial, Dead, Death) in, for example, P510 "It was not Death, for I stood up" is simply an example among many. The extreme case of this negation is of course the story ofdeath, which is the negation of life itself.In this article, an attempt is made to substantiate what seems to be one of the most disturbing aspects of Dickinson's poetry, the poems of death. Among the total of 1775 poems, Dickinson rites as many as 500 to 600 poems concerning, in one way or another, death. Is death a mere vacancy? Is it lack of life in her poems? Or is it a vehicle denoting the maximum capacity which is equivalent to or even bigger than what life contains? An analogy is made between death/life poems with poems of Indian Summer/Summer.The result of this survey, then, touches finally the creation of literary work itself, which is, in a way, a negation of "real life, " in the name of fiction. The strongest aspect of many of her poems lies, as exemplified in this article, in the fact that ickinson does not only create "fiction" (remember "a supposed person"?) but also states in that fiction that what she is doing is not the real thing (the creation of a supposed "topic") . In other words, death hemes in her poetry are not for the sake of death. By using "death" as a supposed topic, Dickinson writes, as a negative image develops into a real picture, about life. At the same time, by stating what she writes about is not "real, " Dickinson validates her fictional world of poetry as fiction, which is not inferior to "life" but independent and has its own reason to exist.
